Can we use your song at lodge.

[maangequay]

I don't see why not.. songs are for healing.. they are here to help us.

You guys make good music!! Question if you choose to answer it or not... what is oshawagabo?? Is it in reference to the color blue, and standing??

[maangequay]

Oshawagabo is in reference to a Brown Bear Standing. It is the name of the young man on the right.

i believe this song it self is not to be shared in this format along with the drum. It takes aways from it.

[maangequay]

No... nothing to do with raindance. Actually I don't know anything about raindancing... I think that's something dreamt up about by hollywood or non-natives. However, some other native groups might have something called the raindance, but we don't. This is just known as a Thunderbird song, and there is teachings behind this song but they are not meant to be shared in this type of format.

@CrassClown9967 Thank you for the information you shared. .. it has nothing to do with a raindance, this is a Thunder Bird Song..

[CrassClown9967]

@maangequay the rain dance was actually made up by native people, because the sun dance was outlawed in the states around sitting bull's time, the sioux had told them that the dance they were doing wasnt the sun dance it was the rain dance and they would bring rain to water the farmers' crops.
